Cute place. Loved the decor
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
The house is beautiful and in a great location. Quirky decor and plenty of space to eat and hang out. Our group found it very comfortable and convenient for visiting wineries along Keuka Lake and walking around the cute downtown of Penn Yan, but we also spent time enjoying the grill, fire pit, and hot tub. Things to be aware of:-The beds are HIGH off the ground! This could be a concern if you have folks in your group who are very short and/or have mobility issues.-The upstairs bathroom has a shower; the downstairs bathroom has a tub with a shower handle and curtain, but I didn’t see a place to secure the handle, so it’s not quite as functional as a normal shower. We had a group of six and had zero issues with this, but larger groups may want to plan for it.-It’s an old house, so there are some things you can expect with that—older windows, no central AC (there were plentiful window units that kept the place quite comfortable though!), some deferred maintenance that didn’t affect our stay.

Comfortable century old home in heart of the city. Ample parking. Very high beds make getting in and out a challenge for short people.Overall, highly recommend.

The property was very clean and well-maintained. the inside and outside looked exactly like the photos shown on the website. I would definitely stay here again. The only downside was my guest and I were not able to use the awning, which would have helped protect us from the rain while using the hot tub and grill. Especially considering the price paid for our stay, access to the awning would have made the experience much more enjoyable and convenient. Aside from that everything was beautiful, comfortable, and well-kept.
